And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Great news, Kat!

Keep breathing!

Emily:

Help me out here, hivemind -- has anyone heard anything about Obama supporting "Muslim schools" which is NOT about his primary school in Indonesia? One of my coworkers thinks this (to which I replied, "Well, we have Jewish schools and Christian schools, so...") but it's proving impossible to Google.

I've been following Obama pretty closely but haven't read anything like this. Do you mean whether he supports Muslim schools in American, like the Khalil Gibran International Academy in NY? There's no connection that I've seen.

I think that's what she was saying. Well, if I brought back proof to the contrary she'd probably think I was crazy anyway. And she did acknowledge that we do have religious schools in this country already. It's just bizarre how these things spread.

Well, after a full day of cleaning, my room actually looks more messy than it did when I came in, so I think it's time to head home. Especially since I'll be back here in under 3 hours for senior night. I'll have to finish it all tomorrow, I guess. Good night, y'all!

Although he has repeatedly stated that he's Christian, never forget that a new religion is just a few words away!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

She'll probably still go, just show up right before and leave right after. She did this to our other friend last week with a SITC thing. Didn't make it to the snacks and tv marathon hanging with the girls bit. Showed up 5 min before the movie and left right after

I don't get that. Why even bother to show up? The movie isn't really the point; it's the hanging out that the movie facilitates. That really sucks.

Dad is out of surgery, according to my mom, "just fine." That's one hurdle done.

Excellent!

My father was up and walking around within 24 hours after his quadruple bypass surgery, so it's a good bet that you'll be able to talk to him soon.

Yeah, considering what good shape your dad is in, with the walking many miles a day, he'll probably be up and walking w/in a day or so, and home within a few days.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Muslim schools in American, like the Khalil Gibran International Academy in NY

That's not a "Muslim" school. It's a public charter school, hence non-religious, with a focus on Arabic language and culture.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can someone please explain to me in VERY SMALL WORDS why it is that re: Florida and Michigan, where the states expressly DID NOT PLAY BY THE RULES AND THIS WAS KNOWN BEFOREHAND, people are calling the DNC hypocritical because they, umm. Kinda enforced the RULES THAT WERE KNOWN BEFOREHAND?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good news about your father, Kat!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course, the Khalil Ghibran school is an arab culture/language school, not a Muslim school. FYI. Hence being named after a Christian.

Yay! And I always think that, too!

Good news from your dad, Kat!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Are "did not get desired result" small enough words?
